Make sure you enable the handling of "address literal" domains in the
Exim configuration. These days, they are not enabled by default.

It is *much* better to use names. That is, have an alias such as

blah: newaddress@???

and then set up a router for that domain:

special:
driver = domainlist
transport = remote_smtp
route_list = some.domain.of.your.choice 192.168.0.3 byname
